I know, it's crazy huh? This is the first time I've had difficulty like this. I hope it's not the new normal.✌

I ordered some from Britain once, some Swalbies for my touring bike. Took a while. Same with a discontinued North Face backpack.

Not just the bicycle industry. I have been waiting on motorcycle parts myself. Not only are supplies short. But the prices are insane.

It's getting crazy isn't it? And you're right. With the shortages driving up demand, the prices just keep getting higher. Our new normal???

Thank you Donna. Yeah, this trip has been in the works for quite a while and all this trouble because somebody thought it would be funny to sabotage the trail with glass. 😔

Man, if it ain't one thing it's another. Things are now at an all time low and seem to keep getting crazier every day. Keep the faith buddy. Hope you get those tires in time for your scheduled trip.

Thanks Don. I usually try to order from companies in the states to avoid this problem but I didn't have a choice in this instance. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This Missouri trip has been in the planning for a long time.

You can't even buy a dedicated touring bike anywhere here in Australia in the last two years. And I can't see it getting any better. Even 2nd hand people are hanging on to what they have.

It's crazy isn't it. Did you see the comment from Old Bum On A Bike? He is in Queensland and has been trying to get a new cassette for one of his bikes and is having to wait. Maybe one day things will get back to normal. I certainly hope this is not the new normal. Thanks for your comment. Atb, Tony

Also you order cars and pay thousands in deposits and it can be 4 months to 6 before a car even lands in Australia. I ordered an electric guitar and it took 5 months to arrive.

I have tracked a Mother's Day package and a multi-item custom tee-shirt order over the past couple months. Sometimes they go all over the map. Unexplained delays are the new normal. Not liking it.

I love my Motobecane. I ordered mine in January or February of 2018 and I have an unboxing video from back then. I have put thousands of miles on mine and the only issue I ever had was the shifter housing broke where the cable comes out at the handlebars. That was not the fault of Motobecane, that was a Sram shifter issue. It was a relatively cheap replacement and I've had no other problems with it. I may have damaged that in the woods on a trail or something. This has been a great bike. Motobecane comes in many different builds so you can get as many upgraded versions as your budget allows. Like everyone else they have low inventory because of the shortages but check out their website at bikesdirect.com

I've had a hell of a time buying parts. All I need is an 11 speed freehub body to start rebuilding the Marin. You never know, you may end up with the refund and the tyres 🤞🤞

This is crazy Ian. Schwalbe isn't making this peticular tire because of material shortages and people overseas can't get what stock they have shipped. I hope this is not our new normal. I hope you get you freehub soon. Are you making the Marin an 1 x 11 ?
@OldBumOnABike

@@BluecollarBackcountry it's been difficult to say the least. No, the Marin is going to be 2x11. I have all my components, I just don't want the expense of buying new wheels after I've already bought them. The WTB wheels I bought were meant to carry an 11 spd cassette, but don't 🤬🤬
